Bus Stop Lemon

[Verse 1] I found a lemon in my bag Yellow moon in a paper sack Bus stop bench, chipped-up paint I was late, but you were not A kid kicked dust by the curb Old man smiled like he’d heard Everything I needed that day Could fit in my hand [Pre-Chorus] I rolled it in my palm Like a tiny warning sign Then I cut it open slow And the whole air changed [Chorus] Bus stop lemon Bite the day Bus stop lemon Turn me new Bus stop lemon Sharp and bright You can sour me Then sweeten too [Verse 2] Taxi horns by the market gate Fish in ice and a lunchbox lid Your text lit up with a one-word spark “Come” and I was already there I wore the juice on my thumb Tasted metal, tasted sun Funny how a small strange thing Can pull you back to life [Pre-Chorus] I rolled it in my palm Like a tiny warning sign Then I cut it open slow And the whole air changed [Chorus] Bus stop lemon Bite the day Bus stop lemon Turn me new Bus stop lemon Sharp and bright You can sour me Then sweeten too [Bridge] Maybe that’s all we are A little rough, a little gold A little split and shining In the open [Final Chorus] Bus stop lemon Bite the day Bus stop lemon Turn me new Bus stop lemon Sharp and bright You can sour me Then sweeten too Bus stop lemon Stay with me Bus stop lemon Through the blue
